Our notes
Strengths
- Three account types with negative balance protection on each
- Commission-free Standard account; ECN and Zero accounts for raw spreads
- MetaTrader 4 and 5, its own app and a copy-trading service
- Licensed by ASIC, the FCA and CySEC, all strict regulators
- Published commissions per currency on the Premium account (for example $4.50 or €4.00 per standard contract)
- Bank transfers and payments under US$50,000 a month are free to deposit
Watch out for
- Says AMarkets LTD holds Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) licence T2023284; we could not confirm it on MISA's register on 2026-10-20, because the register sits behind a bot check
- Its other companies are registrations in the Cook Islands and St Vincent and the Grenadines, not financial licences
- No licence from a strict regulator; not available in the UK, EU, EEA or US
- Leverage up to 1:3000 on every account
- International clients join AxiTrader LLC, a St Vincent and the Grenadines company (4303 LLC 2025) that is registered, not licensed; its risk warning says you can lose substantially more than your initial investment.
- Axi publishes minimum spreads only, not typical spreads
- The St Vincent company charges a monthly inactivity fee after 12 months and may charge US$25 for withdrawals under US$50
- The FSCA's OTC derivative provider list shows AxiCorp Financial Services Pty Ltd's application as Withdrawn, so Axi has no South African licence we could confirm.

Risk warnings
The buttons to a broker’s website above the table are partner links: we may earn a commission if you open an account through them. That never changes the facts shown here. Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high risk of losing money rapidly, and most retail accounts lose money. Each broker’s own warning:
- Axi: Over-the-counter derivatives are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing substantially more than your initial investment rapidly due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how over-the-counter derivatives work and whether you can afford to take the high level of risk to your capital.

Cost per lot is the typical EUR/USD spread in busy hours × $10, plus any round-turn commission, for one standard lot. “Not yet checked” means we have not confirmed that fact yet. This page compares facts; it does not rank the brokers or recommend either. Confirm costs and licences on each broker’s site and the regulator’s public register before opening an account: see how we review brokers and check a broker yourself.
